James Lill
The number of legacy players on the Columbia Football team is growing.
Yesterday, we learned that 6-5 287 pound OL/DL James Lill, son of Jim Lill '96, has committed to the Lions.
James will come to Columbia after a PG year at the Avon Old Farms School in Connecticut after graduating earlier this year from Schroeder Webster HS in Webster, NY.
The younger Lill is from the greater Rochester area just like his dad and his uncle Jake, Jim's twin brother. But the elder Lills did not attend Schroeder or do PG years. Both of the brothers played on defense for the Lions during some of the best years of the program in the mid-1990s. They particularly stood out in the 1995 Homecoming Win over Yale that the Athletic Department included in a special look back on historic games dominated by the Lion defense.
James had an offer from UNH and some D-III schools. He will be the first Schroeder grad to come to Columbia Football, but the fourth from Avon Old Farms.
So our 2022 incoming freshman list has grown 4:
1. Ewan Clarke OT/DT 6"6 280 lbs. St. Stephen's/St. Agnes School Alexandria, VA
2. James Lill OL/DL 6"5 287 lbs. Schroeder Webster HS/Avon Old Farms Webster, NY
3. Shawn Lin DL 6"4 250 lbs. Loyola HS Los Angeles, CA
4. Patrick Sodl LB 5"11 210 lbs. Loyola HS Los Angeles, CA

TWO DL 280 or over? Has Al lost his mind? What happened to the 245 lb DTs?
